Was one of my favorite days in Sox history. It was the debut of Carl Everett and Roberto Alomar, and I'm a huge sucker for seeing stars put on a Sox uniform. Ken Griffey was a two month hardon for me.

 

Most memorable thing about the game was Paulie's pinch hit HR off Everyday Eddie, his 3rd HR of the season (on July 2nd!).

 

Just thought I'd give some food for thought.

If I remember correctly, didn't The Big Hurt hit a walkoff hr in extra innings that game after like a ten pitch at bat?

 

Yep, it was an incredible game, and then Koch killed all the momentum the next game against Carl Crawford.

Griffey was a definitely #1 for me, with Manny coming in a close second.

Steve Carlton at the end of his career...

 

Canseco was fun in 2001, and Bo Jackson, of course. Sandy Alomar, Jr., was it 2 or 3 times? Charles Johnson in 2000.

 

 

Of the last 20+ years, we'll have had all 3 sure-fire HOF'ers in Thome, Griffey, Jr., and Frank Thomas.

There's been a lot of "greats" too that the Sox got at the twilight of their career. A few I remember were Ken Boyer, Rocky Colavito, of course Ted Kluzewski and Moose Skowron.

I was not even two years old when Seaver came to Chicago. And I know nothing about Griffey Sr. on the Sox?

 

That was a great time to be a Sox fan. The Sox us to be major players in free agency while during the Veeck era they were losing players to free agency.

It's kind of scary how I can vividly recall this game. To the point of where I was and who I was with too.

 

Memories are a crazy thing

 

Ditto. A line drive off Everett's bat broke the arm of the girl behind me and exploded beer everywhere. Vivid stuff
